“So she thoroughly taught him that one cannot take pleasure without giving pleasure, and that every gesture, every caress, every touch, every glance, every last bit of the body has its secret, which brings happiness to the person who knows how to wake it. She taught him that after a celebration of love the lovers should not part without admiring each other, without being conquered or having conquered, so that neither is bleak or glutted or has the bad feeling of being used or misused.”

On October 8, Abrams will publish Matt Zoller Seitz’s new book, “The Wes Anderson Collection”, a gorgeously illustrated collection of essays about one of recent cinema’s most idiosyncratic and fiercely beloved filmmakers. While Seitz’s book is proof that Anderson’s unique sensibilities have inspired great writing, there is already abundant proof that the auteur’s aesthetic hangups and obsessive attention to detail have inspired a tremendous wealth of great art, as talented fans the world over have been compelled to create gorgeous illustrated tributes to these movies.

There’s something about Anderson’s style that seems to demand a response, as though – despite the specificity of his films – they’re only half-formed, a call and response that audiences feel personally tapped to answer. While a large portion of the pieces contained in this gallery were commissioned for “Bad Dads”, Spoke Art’s excellent recurring Anderson tribute, just as many were found hiding in smaller pockets of the web. If you like these pieces, please follow the links to the artists’ individual pages that can be found along the bottom of each image. You should probably put your bandit hat on now.
